“"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- "
...and then he had to stop and think. Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.”
-Winnie the Pooh
My first cup of English Breakfast tea with milk. Today I savored that pre sip moment just a little longer than usual.
Thanks for the reminder Pooh :)x have a chirpy day my loves x

This is such a beautiful, heart-warming post.
ReplyDeleteHere in London, I saw my first daffodils of the spring today and it was such a lovely sight.
My fiance thinks I'm crazy because I notice, and take genuine pleasure from, these things - I'm the kind of 'Snow White' girl who says hello to birds as they pass by! ;0) - but I think it's important to value the small joys of life...
Honey, tea and daffodils in-between!

Oh, my daughter reminds me every day... She is absolutely IN LOVE with rocks. Every time we're outside she hunts them down like they're little hidden treasure toys. And every night before she goes to sleep, when we look outside and say "goodnight moon, goodnight trees..." there's almost always a goodnight "wocks" - simple, small joys indeed.

Such a wonderful post-there's nothing better than that moment of anticipation.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful day, darling!
Child-like gratitude is so rare and pure, it needs to be savored.
ReplyDelete"A Certain Vintage" complemented it already but I must say, that is a beautifully-manicured thumb :)
:) ha! I do that every Saturday morning, the pre sip then close my eyes inhale deeply enjoying the coffee aroma then sip.

Pooh certainly does bring us all back to the important things in life, doesn't he? :) Thanks for posting this very simple and honest of thoughts - it is the little things that make everyday special, and it can be hard to remember to savor them. Thanks for the reminder!
